1.Gone with the Wind starring: Thomas Mitchell, Barbara O'Neil, Vivien Leigh, Evelyn Keyes, Ann Rutherford directed by: Victor Fleming, George Cukor, Sam Wood October 27, 1998
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.50
This is the 716th review of this movie! What can I say that has not already been said about this wonderfully compelling movie? I will not comment on the restoration process or the pros and cons of buying the 2-disk or 4-disk set, as this is adequately discussed by many other reviewers. I will say that this movie won 10 Academy awards and is still regarded as the 6th best epic movie of all-time. That should be credentials enough to want to view this extraordinary movie. Watching this movie is an absolutely delightful experience, and I can just imagine attending the movie in the theatre for the first time! I can just imagine the excitement and the buzz of conversation during the intermission, for the first half of this movie is quite unlike any other movie up to that date ... Read More

2.Waterloo Bridge starring: Vivien Leigh, Robert Taylor, Lucile Watson, Virginia Field, Maria Ouspenskaya directed by: Mervyn LeRoy June 27, 1995
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $7.95
This remake of the 1931 filmed version of Robert Sherwood's play about the doomed romance of a WWI military officer and a streetwalker, is a classic tragic romance that sanitizes the original, but is distinguished by lovely performances and exquisite black and white cinematography. It is really a pitch perfect tearjerker for the period. Vivien Leigh is heartbreaking as ballerina turned prostitute Myra, and if possible, even more beautiful than she was in GONE WITH THE WIND. Her acting in WATERLOO BRIDGE is a far cry from the exuberance, and bold colors of a Scarlett O'Hara. Myra's emotional palette is muted, but the shifts from melancholia, to hopefulness, to despair are done flawlessly and show Leigh's great range as an actress. Robert Taylor as Captain Cronin is a fine romantic ... Read More

3.A Streetcar Named Desire starring: Vivien Leigh, Marlon Brando, Kim Hunter, Karl Malden, Rudy Bond directed by: Elia Kazan June 18, 1996
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $0.61
Elia Kazan's screen version of Tenessee William's firey work is a non stop emotional ride. Marlon Brando revises his stage role as Stanley Kowalski, a working class man who lives in New Orleans with his wife Stella. There life is a roughly passionate one which intensifies when Stella's southern belle sister Blanche DuBois arrives. Blanche, portrayed so beautifully and truly by Vivien Leigh, that her husband Sir Lawrence Olivier once commented on how it almost broke her to play this role. Blanche is mentally unstable, broken by the world and by distorted ideals. Stanley immeadiately loathes Blanche and all that she pretends to be, allowing this hatred to consume him and become an animalistic urge that explodes at the end of the film. In all this film displays both the beauty and horror of human kind, ... Read More

5.That Hamilton Woman starring: Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier, Alan Mowbray, Sara Allgood, Gladys Cooper directed by: Alexander Korda July 07, 1994
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $13.99
This is a typical London Films Korda classic of the time. While a beautiful and romantic film, much of the incidents portrayed in Emma's life are highly romanticized and inaccurate. Vivian Leign is her usually charged and bouncy self, and Olivier his usual stiff upper lip. The film becomes more a show of chemistry between these two famous actors of the time, with history loosely thrown in! Vivian Leigh is all over this film, and while some find her bubbly manner charming, at times it can be annoying. I was half expecting her to go into her Scarlet bit while Olivier (Nelson) was being dragged along with the story. The production value is certainly first-rate, although a bit inaccurate at times. The film's music was certainly not period at all, and at one point one hears "A Life on the Ocean Wave" in ... Read More

6.Caesar & Cleopatra starring: Claude Rains, Vivien Leigh, Stewart Granger, Flora Robson, Francis L. Sullivan directed by: Gabriel Pascal July 05, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $6.19
The film is okay, being Vivien Leigh is in it, not much else to say about it. I liked it fine.

7.Laurence Olivier: A Life starring: Laurence Olivier, Melvyn Bragg, Peggy Ashcroft, Jill Esmond, Douglas Fairbanks Jr. June 20, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $21.80
"I start on the outside and work in. Which is the exact opposite of how most actors work nowadays. I think first to myself 'what does this character look like?' and I go from there." Laurence Olivier, who was always considered a very private individual, let his guard down, and specifically went out of his way to be as insightful as possible during the making of this documentary. He does set a few limits. He refuses to rehearse a role in front of the camera. That's no joking matter - don't go there. When asked how he could play two extremely opposing roles on the same night (as he once did on the London stage, playing a double bill of OEDIPUS, followed by a light-hearted comedy role in TARTUFFE), Olivier is evasive: "An actor spends 20 years of his life learning and perfecting his craft. It's a set of ... Read More

10.That Hamilton Woman starring: Laurence Olivier, Vivien Leigh, Henry Wilcoxon directed by: Alexander Korda 1987
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: $5.99
You know, I was raised a movie buff, all those sick days growing up, I watched movies that were as old as my parents. I remembered this movie because of that last scene when ....well....that and the New Year's Eve scene where Emma and Nelson are saying good-bye. They recount the events of the 1700's, it always makes me cry, but when they played it a few months ago on Turner Classic Movies, I sat and watched it with tears in my eyes. It is a honest to goodness love story and the best part is that its true, that it is real and true, that makes me love it more. All my dreams of what love was supposed to be were in that movie, then I was lucky enough to find it for myself. "Now I've kissed you through two centuries"
